As to working into commons-configuration and the Spring Application
Context system...

I initially started off with the idea that I'd like to configure Log4J
using Spring, since that's what I use for most environment-specific
configs.  However, if something goes wrong in Spring, I'd it to tell
me what happened using Log4J.  So there's a vicious cycle if something
goes wrong; Spring depends on Log4J depends on Spring.  Ultimately it
was simpler and clearer just to make it depend on system properties
for now, with the option of expanding it later.

Will.
